Forged Destiny [Book 7: Ch. 10]

Once I was out of the cave and a small distance away, I sheathed it again, and instead brought out the smooth grey rock I kept in a pouch on my belt. I brought it to my lips and checked one last time to make sure Lisa wasn't close enough.

"Weiss."

I waited. It would take time for Weiss' stone to grow warm and shake, and it was up to her to return my message, linking the spell and allowing conversation. I gave it a full minute, but there was no response.

Maybe she's busy or left it somewhere.

"Blake," I said, trying again. When nothing came, I kept going. "Ruby. Yang. Ren, Nora, Pyrrha."

Two minutes later, I put the stone away. No response from any of them.
